What are Sulfates?

Arianne Suggs October 28, 2014October 28, 2014Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Sulfates can be found in products such as shampoo or conditioner and are designed to help remove dirt and oil. The removal of such of debris is a good thing, but as mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Using products with sulfates too often can lead to your hair being stripped, not good especially if you are trying to grow out your mane. Limiting sulfate products and using sulfate-free products instead is the best defense against this harmful hair offense. If possible, try to use sulfate products once a month.

Is Your Tap Water Drying Out Your Hair?

Arianne Suggs October 28, 2014October 28, 2014Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: Your tap water could be stripping your hair of the moisture it needs to stay healthy. Pure water has a PH balance of 7, however, the water supply in many areas do not match this number. The mineral deposits that can be left behind on tresses will not only cause them to be drier than the desert, but this dryness could then lead to breakage. Testing your water with PH Balance strips can help you gauge what type of water may be affecting your hair. Now, please note your water may not be the culprit behind your hair’s dryness. Nevertheless, knowledge and prevention is the best way to grow and maintain the length of your hair.
